<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko declined to elaborate on the New York Times' report that former Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa tested positive for a performance enhancing drug in 2003 because the lack of a public source.
"First, to me, unfortunately, today it’s just not a story for me," Konerko said. "Some guy writes an article, the sources aren’t public. One of two things needs to happen for me, either whoever is going to report …these sources, then put your name behind it and put your face out there and tell people who you are. Or Sammy admits to it, and that’s what happened in the Alex Rodriguez thing.
"That’s the only two ways this becomes a story. I know, obviously if you guys are standing here, it’s a story but I just think it’s sad it's come to the fact that news comes out of reports of unnamed sources and that kind of stuff. It’s gives it a bad name for you guys."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
